K. FAIRBANK COMPANY, Chicago OK OPTION FIGHT OPENS III INDIANA Indianapolis. Sept. IS. Hoosier lawmakers gathered in the capital to day, at the call of Governor H.inley, to begin what will probably be the most Important special session of the legislature ever held In Indiana. Although other vital matters are up for consideration, the fight for and against enacting; a county local option law will likely be the feature of the session. Governor Ilanly is a pro nounced temperance advocate and his highest ambition Is to place Indiana In the ranks of the "dry" states. Under the Moore remonstrance law, a large part of the state Is already free of sa loons. A county local option law, such as rroposed by Governor Hanly, would likely drive the liquor dealers from all but a few large cities, and would serve as an entering wedge for state-wide prohibition. That the governor's attempt to force the local option measure may have grave results on the national election Is admitted. Many politicians believe that the acceptance or rejec tion by the legislature of a county lo cal option bill is likely to change the entire political complexion of the campaign now In progress. The brewers and liquor dealers realize the gravity of the situation and will do their utmost to rrevent the passage of the local option act. If the specirtl session is harmonious it will likely aid the republicans in carrying the state. If a factional fight results, the democrats will have their opportunity, and will not hesitate to take advantage of it. The republi cans will make the lornl option bill a party measure and se-k to whip Into line enough votes to make it a law, but doubt exists as to the ability Of the party leaders to control the as sembly. The house, of course, will be the scene of the struggle if there Is one. The republicans have 53 mem bers to 47 democrats. This Is a safe margin if caucus action can be taken. But it Is recalled that some five or six republicans refused at the regular sosssion to go Into any temperance caucus and it is feared that these may cause trouble. The republicans will depend upon temperance democrats to make up for the members of their own party that they cannot control. Several demo crats voted with the republicans two years ago for high license. These may play politics, however, this season and withhold support, in which event county local option will be afar off. Under the workings of the Moore remonstrance net, at the present time there are In all 764 "dry" townships In the state nut of 1015. There are 21 counties In the stnte which have saloons in only one place; 18 with sa loons in only two places, and 13 more In which the majority of the popula tion live in "dry" territory. An understanding of the Moore re monstrance law may throw some light upon the remarkable advance of pro hibition in Indiana. Under It, the ma Jorlly of vot-rs in any township or In any city ward, hy remonstrating In writing .nr;iin?t the granting of li censes are enabled to close the sa loons in that township for two years. Jernoiistrance campaigns take place r'-gularly. It may be begun any day, and two days liter the saloons of the dist tii t are closed. Two 'dry" years are apt to make th;it particular township undesirable to the saloon keeper, who moves, never to return. If the plans of the anti-saloon workers are carried out, the passage Of a county local option measure will be but a step toward the submission of a constitutional amendment pro viding state-wide prohibition In 1911. A vote on this question, the "drys" believe, would result In banishing liquor from Indiana forever. A the situation Is now, Indiana has 13 counties which are wholly without the saloon. The passage of a local option law, the anti-saloon workers believe, will mean at least 80 "dry" counties out of the 92 within two years. The constitutional amendment they rely upon to settle the matter for all time. I Another matter, and the chief ob- ' ject of the special session, will be that of extending the appropriation act of the last general assembly so as to pre- 1 vent unexpended balances of specific appropriations from reverting at the end of the fiscal year, September 30, j to the general fund. As the law now t stands, these unexpended balances ! would revert and consequently hin der the work of constructing several new Institutions, Another consideration will have to do with providing protection against the nleht riders of southern Indiana. There have been no recent depreda tions, but the tobacco crop Is not yet harvested, so raids are expected. The experience of Kentucky and Ohio has demonstrated that a state militia is unable to cope with masked maraud ers who ride and burn and murder at unexpected hours In unexpected places, so it is thought desirable that the governor be given wide powers to deal with any situation that may develop.

WE RECOMMEND MERVITA GRIDIRON" SEASON" IS OPENED IN FAR EAST. HAYES IS EXTERED IX MARATHON RACE New York. Sept. 18. With the first Important game, that between the Carlisle Indians and AlbrleM col lege, scheduled for tomorrow the 1908 football season In the east will be formally opened. According to re ports, the redskin eleven Is this year unusually strong and will likely mak.s a good showing. Not until a week from tomorrow, September 26, will any of the other big college elevens be seen on tne erldiron. On that date. Pennsylvania will play Its first game of the season at Philadelphia, with West Virginia as Its opponent. Brown will play New Hampshire and Syracuse will meet Hamilton. Wednesday, September 30, will be the big football inaugural day. Yale will get Into the game by playing Wesleyan at New Haven. Harvard will have Its initial game nt Cambridge, with Bowdoln, and Dartmouth will play Vermont at Hanover. Princeton, Cornell, West Point nd Annapolis will play their first games on Saturday. October 3. and from that date until November 28, when the season ends with the annual struggle between the elevens of the army and navy academies, every Saturday and Wednesday will be marked- by im portant contests between the football gladiators. From present appearances, Yale has the best chances of carrying off the premier football honors of the country. Harvard looks weak, and neither Princeton, Cornell, West Point, Annapolis or Pennsylvania can produce elevens that, according to the dope of the wise ones, will be able to take the measure of the strong team of Old Ell. Chicago, Sept. IS. A twenty-five mile Marathon race, which the man agement declares will be the greatest ever held In the United States, will be held here tomorrow. John J. Hayes, who won the Olympic Mara thon In London, is expected to be one of the runners, and nearly a hundred others will take part In the grueling grind. Handsome trophies will be presented to the winners and to all those who finish the 25 mile course. Tablets to any weak man be cause we know what they will do.
